The little 50MB business-card size one works well too. Either way- install the base system from a little CD and it will get the rest, whatever you decide you need, from the net via ftp or http (you choose the protocol, you choose the mirror). By the way, don't go hog-wild and install everything you might ever need. That way lies trouble. You can always get more later, so get what you /need/ and get comfortable with it, then get more. It's just an apt-get away. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
